Is it Haram to Work at Lockhead Martin?
C.J Ahmed-17.05.2023
Lockhead Martin is an American corporation which deals in aerospace,defence, information security and technology and there is nothing haram in working at lockhead Martin. The general doubt about working at such a company is due to it involved in manufacturing arms an d sending it to Isreal. Eventough this company is selling weapons to Isreal, it is still halal to work in this company because even the prophet (sal) used to due trde with the disbelievers although they were violent against Muslims.
The deviant Ikhwani, Yusuf al Qardawi and Shia Heretics like Syed Ali Khamenei issued fatwas asking Muslims to boycott American made products like coca cola because the money is going to Isreal. I can go on and on about the Shirk and Kufr of these two individuls but because this article is supposed to be brief, I prefer not mentioning them here.
Abu Bakr (rali) told us: Jareer told us, from Mughirah, from Abu Waa’il and Ibrahim, who said: When the Muslims came, they got some food from the Magians, their cheese and bread, and they ate and did not ask about that. The cheese was described to ‘Umar (rali) and he said: Mention the name of Allah over it and eat it.
(Narrated by Ibn Abi Shaybah-5/130 and Imam ibn Hibban graded it as an authentic hadith because the narrators are of Bukhari and Muslim)
The above hadith of the rightly guided caliphs proves clearly that the sahabah did not question food given to them even if they happened to be non-muslims. Eventough the some non-Muslims oppressed the Muslims, neither did the prophet (sal) or the four rightly guided caliphs told the Muslims to boycott products. The Magians were idol worshippers and could have used haram ingredients in preparing food but the general principle is to eat the food given by anyone including Jews by simply mentioning Allah's name and there is no need for making a fuss over it. Some Muslims nowadays make a huge fuss going after halal and make their lives very problematic and filled with hardships. The prophet (sal) and his companions never issued halal certificates for food items like nowadays and the way of the prophet (sal) and his companions was practical and easy to follow.
The prophet (Sal) said,
“None makes the religion difficult except that it overcomes him. So, aim for what is right, stick to the moderate way"
(Bukhari)
Narrated by Ibn Masud (Rali),
The prophet (Sal) said,
"Beware! The extremists perished," saying it three times."
(Abu Dawud-Graded Sahih by Albani)
